from Index of Marriages

There is no day and month recorded for this marriage, only the year. Nor is there a given name recorded for the groom. However circumstantial evidence of various kinds suggest that William Strachan is the male partner in this marriage.

The entry for this marriage is incomplete in the OPR because of damage to the manuscript.
